Daddy Long Legs 1919

Dr. Pitt-Payne in London UK - 30 Jan 2003

In the house of "nobody cares,"
Little "Miss NoOne,"
lives with her pray'rs;
Never knowing love's tenderness,
she longed to feel,
someone's caress;
one day love came her way;
and the whole world heard her say:

My Daddy LongLegs,
you made my life worth while;
My Daddy LongLegs,
you taught me how to smile,
when I saw your shadow on the wall,
the one that the sunbeams drew;
My Daddy LongLegs,
I fell in love with you.

My Daddy LongLegs,
you made my life worth while;
My Daddy LongLegs,
you taught me how to smile,
when I saw your shadow on the wall,
the one that the sunbeams drew;
My Daddy LongLegs,
I fell in love with you.

Who turned all the dark clouds to blue,
My Daddy LongLegs,
no one but you;
who dried all the tears in my eyes,
who made the sun,
shine in the skies?
Ev'ry pray'r that I say;
I will always end this way:

My Daddy LongLegs,
you made my life worth while;
My Daddy LongLegs,
you taught me how to smile,
when I saw your shadow on the wall,
the one that the sunbeams drew;
My Daddy LongLegs,
I fell in love with you.

My Daddy LongLegs,
you made my life worth while;
My Daddy LongLegs,
you taught me how to smile,
when I saw your shadow on the wall,
the one that the sunbeams drew;
My Daddy LongLegs,
I fell in love with you.
